Spin Doctors - You've Got to Believe in Something lyrics

It's a lonely universe

Be careful what you wish for

Cause your improvement might be worse

Birth is a missing persons file

It's a case of role reversal

Life is a play...

Sometimes I can remember the rehearsal

You've got to believe in nothing

There's an awful lot out there

There's an awful lot in make up

Some in every perfect hair

You know I lose a lot of sleep

Wondering if nothing would ever desert us

But I know they don't know nothing

And what they don't know can't hurt us

I want to tell you

This guy wants to charge you a nickel

I want to tell you

This guy wants to charge you a dime

I want to tell you

I'm 'o' charge you a five dollar bill

And show you a real fine time

real fine time

There's a candy coated iguana

Behind curtain number one

And a sixteen dollar bill

For every pregnant flying nun

They got a soda-pop that'll save the wold

It's a tonic and an elixir

It's a get-you-laid

Better-paid

Guaranteed all-round life-fixer

I want to tell you

This guy wants you to change a twenty

I want to tell you

This guy wants you to change a ten

I want to tell you

This guy knows you already did it

But he wants you to do it again

Do it again

You've got to believe in something

It's a lonely universe

Be careful what you wish for

Cause your improvement might be worse

Birth is a missing persons file

It's a case of role reversal

Life is a play, they say

Sometimes I can remember the rehearsal

I want to tell you

Some say life is a blessing

I want to tell you

Some say life is a curse

I want to tell you

Some say life is a play

But you get no time to rehearse

And you got to believe in something

Cause it's a lonely universe

You got to believe in something
